Barcelona watch Frankfurt’s win over Inter amid Jovic links

Barcelona appear to be firming up their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic.

According to a report from Spanish news outlet Marca, the La Liga giants sent Eric Abidal, their director of football, to observe the Europa League clash between the forward’s team and Inter Milan on Thursday evening.

Jovic started for Adi Hutter’s men and helped them progress to the quarter-finals of the competition as he netted Frankfurt’s only goal in their 1-0 win at San Siro.

The Catalan outfit have been heavily linked with a move for the Serbian international, who is continuing to impress in the top flight of German football.

Jovic has been in excellent form for Frankfurt and has found the net on 15 occasions in his 23 Bundesliga starts this season.
